SALT LAKE CITY, July 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PassiveLogic, developer of the first platform for generative autonomy to enable autonomous infrastructure robots, today announced that its Sense Nano™ sensor has been awarded the 2024 Red Dot Design Award in the Product Design category.
The Red Dot Design Award is one of the most prestigious design prizes and winning the award is an internationally recognized seal of superior design quality. Entries came from 60 countries and were judged by an international jury of 39 experts from 20 countries with expertise in various design disciplines and professions, including professors, consultants, journalists and industrial designers. Winning products are selected on the basis of aesthetic appeal, functionality, innovation and above all, good design.
Sense Nano is the first fully wireless sensor that extracts energy to run from the surrounding environment while communicating with peers via Bluetooth mesh. The sensor extends autonomy to the edge, enabling the transformation of buildings into smart assets at scale. To facilitate these retrofits, Sense Nano installs in seconds, knowing where to install it using the accompanying Quantum Lens mobile application. Designed with architectural sensitivities in mind, the CNC-machined aircraft alloy aluminum housing integrates into any environment where insight is needed. Fitting in the palm of your hand, it’s a feat of miniaturization, packing seven sensors into a 45mm diameter ring: air temperature, radiant temperature, humidity, light level, barometric pressure, indoor air quality, and occupant location services.
Nano is powerful on its own. When combined with the broader PassiveLogic ecosystem, it acts as a two-way, synergistic teammate, complementing and improving the overall platform’s capabilities. Sense Nano is one of eight unique hardware units from PassiveLogic that seamlessly integrate and work together to enable autonomy for any infrastructure robotic system that can be controlled.
Sense Nano’s rich sensor suite plays a key role in the first control platform for autonomous infrastructure, collecting and coordinating the rich environmental data required to enable autonomous infrastructure. Part of the Hive Autonomous Platform, the world’s first Autonomous Management System (AMS), Sense Nano not only tracks critical environmental data, but also communicates that information in real-time across the platform, enabling the Hive controller to refine digital twin AI models and improve autonomous system control at the edge.
“We thank the Red Dot committee for recognizing PassiveLogic’s efforts to develop elegant, intuitive technology that empowers users to create an autonomous future,” said Troy Harvey, CEO of PassiveLogic. “Sensors can now be freely placed wherever they are needed to capture information critical to human comfort and complex asset management, without being shackled by complex wiring challenges. The Sense Nano’s design reflects PassiveLogic’s mission to leverage design-led engineering to solve the most pressing real-world problems while providing a great user experience.”
The Red Dot Award is the second internationally prestigious industrial design award that PassiveLogic has received in 2024. Earlier this year, PassiveLogic was announced as the winner of the iF DESIGN AWARD for its Hive Autonomous Platform.
